We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: First paragraph: "Your Impact at Lowe's As a Sales Specialist, you will be one of the first people our customers meet. Your sales expertise can help customers find the products they need and encourage them to transform a great project idea into reality. If you enjoy helping people and solving problems in a fast-paced environment, this is the perfect role for you." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

About the role

. Next: "How We Support You Whether you need a part-time position or a place to plant yourself and grow, Lowe's is ready to support your goals. As a Lowe's associate, you'll gain access to a variety of benefits beyond competitive pay and flexible schedules. Earn more from your sales performance with additional bonus opportunities.Make your well-being a priority with multiple health insurance options.Explore educational opportunities with Lowe's tuition assistance program.Take charge of your financial future with a company-matching 401(k).Gain extra savings with a 10% Associate Discount.Learn new trade skills with our Track to the Trades program. For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." That's benefits. Also mentions competitive pay and flexible schedules (pay and schedule). But we need separate sections only if specific content. Pay: "competitive pay" is vague; not a specific amount. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits (list). It mentions competitive pay and flexible schedules but not specific numbers. Should we include Pay and Schedule sections? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits (list). For Pay and Schedule, it only says "competitive pay and flexible schedules" which is generic. Likely we should not create Pay or Schedule sections because they are not specific. However, we could include Benefits section with the list. Next: "Your Day at Lowe's Sales Specialists at Lowe's are very active, moving throughout the store or garden center, answering phones, and talking to customers. As a Sales Specialist, you'll spend most of your time communicating with customers – discussing project needs, answering questions, and helping them accomplish their home improvement goals. You will become the product expert, informing customers of specifications, features, promotions, and financing options to close a sale. Your exceptional consulting services help ensure that customer needs are met before leaving the store. You will be working in one of the following departments, based on hiring needs and skillsets: Appliances, Cabinets, Flooring, Live Nursery, Millwork, Fashion Plumbing, Outlet, Tool Rental, Pro, or Windows & Walls." That could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? It's describing day-to-day. Could be part of Responsibilities. We'll see. Next: "Key Responsibilities Provide SMART customer service by seeking out customers to understand their needs, answer questions, and communicate the advantages of Lowe's products and servicesServe as a point of contact for customers and vendors within your department, providing project estimates, scheduling installer visits, processing and tracking customer orders/installations, and following up to ensure project completion.If in the Pro Department, focus on external accounts and outside sales and servicesMonitor inventory levels to support sales, working with vendors and other stores to find merchandise and order replacement stockPerform price reviews by pricing policies and ensure maintenance of pricing and documentationSupport all checkout functions, call buttons, departmental pages, or requests for assistanceTrain associates in the department by conducting on-the-job training on the Sales floor and coaching around development needsComplete other duties as assigned" That's responsibilities. Next: "Minimum Qualifications High School Diploma or GED1 year experience in customer-facing sales or 6 months of Lowe’s retail experience (Or 3 years of external experience in customer-facing sales or 18 months of Lowe’s retail experience if education requirement is not met)1 year of experience in sales or customer service in a sales environment with required sales goals or metricsAble to Read, write, and perform basic arithmetic (addition and subtraction)Able to stand and sit for prolonged periodsMinimally lift 25lbs unassisted or over 25lbs with or without an accommodationObtain sales-related licensure or registration if required by law in your state (Lowe's will support and fund this requirement)" That's qualifications (minimum). Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide which to use. Minimum Qualifications likely maps to Requirements or Qualifications. Preferred Qualifications separate. Next: "Preferred Qualifications 1 year of experience in completing customer sales orders1 Year Experience promoting product related services and plans such as installation, delivery, credit financing, or extended protection plan2 years of experience designing customized products for customers using 20/20 or Computer-Aided Design SystemProfessional certification related to the department being consideredBi-lingual skills" That's preferred qualifications (could be Skills? Or Qualifications). We'll treat as Qualifications (maybe separate sections: Requirements for minimum, Qualifications for preferred? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available. Could use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications and skills. Or combine. Next: "Lowe's commitment to growth and teamwork extends to the community as well. To better equip our stores and serve our communities, we strongly encourage bilingual, military, and veteran talent to apply and join our team." That's a statement encouraging certain groups; could be part of About the role or maybe not needed. It's not boilerplate EEO? It's encouraging bilingual, military, veteran. Might be considered part of the role description. We'll keep as part of About the role maybe. Next: "Travel Requirements This role does not require regular travel; however, this role may need to travel occasionally to meetings, training, or to support neighboring stores." That's travel requirements; not a standard heading; we could maybe put under About the role or Responsibilities? Not needed as separate heading. Next: "Working Conditions Environmental factors vary by location. You may be working in both inside and outside weather conditions. Exposure to varying climates, including extreme heat or cold, wet, damp, humid, windy, or drafty conditions, is possible. You may be exposed to constant or intermittent noises in addition to moving or shaking objects and equipment. Lifting methods vary based on role, weight, and volume. Associates must follow guidelines, limiting single lifts to 75 pounds. Team lifts are used minimally starting at 75 pounds or when needed. Powered equipment should be used as required, with proper training or assistance from a trained coworker." That's working conditions; not a standard heading; could be omitted? The instruction: remove boilerplate, but working conditions is substantive. However we don't have a heading for Working Conditions. We could incorporate into Responsibilities or About the role? Probably better to include under Responsibilities as part of job description. But we have no heading for it; we could just put as a paragraph under Responsibilities. Next: "About Lowe's Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) is a FORTUNE® 50 home improvement company serving approximately 16 million customer transactions a week in the United States. With total fiscal year 2023 sales of more than $86 billion, Lowe's operates over 1,700 home improvement stores and employs approximately 300,000 associates.

For more information, visit Lowes.com About Lowe’s Lowe's Companies, Inc.

For more information, visit Lowes.com." That's duplicated; we need to preserve all substantive info but remove duplicated lines. So we need to combine into one About Lowe's paragraph without duplication. The content: Fortune 50? Actually first says FORTUNE® 50, second says FORTUNE® 100. There's inconsistency; we need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. But we have duplicated lines; we should deduplicate but keep both statements? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. That means if the same sentence appears twice, we keep one. However the two About Lowe's paragraphs have slightly different numbers (Fortune 50 vs 100, fiscal year 2023 vs 2025, stores vs stores+branches+distribution centers). They are not identical lines; they are different info. So we should keep both? They are not duplicated lines; they are different content. However they are both about Lowe's; we could combine into a single paragraph that includes both sets of info without duplication. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can combine but must keep all details. So we can create a paragraph that includes both Fortune rankings, both fiscal year sales numbers, both store counts, etc. That would preserve all details without duplication. That seems acceptable. We must not include EEO boilerplate; there is an EEO statement at the end: "Lowe’s is an equal opportunity employer..." That should be removed. Also there is a line: "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience." That's about pay but vague; we should not create Pay section unless specific. This line is generic; we could incorporate into Benefits? Probably not; we could omit as it's not specific pay info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits (list). It does not state specific pay or schedule. So we omit Pay and Schedule sections. We also have a line: "For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." appears twice; we should deduplicate. Now we need to decide sections: - About the role: combine initial impact paragraph, How We Support You? Actually How We Support You is about benefits; maybe better to put under Benefits. But About the role could include the initial impact and maybe day-to-day description? However we have Responsibilities separate. Let's outline: About the role: "Your Impact at Lowe's As a Sales Specialist, you will be one of the first people our customers meet. Your sales expertise can help customers find the products they need and encourage them to transform a great project idea into reality. If you enjoy helping people and solving problems in a fast-paced environment, this is the perfect role for you." plus maybe "Your Day at Lowe's ..."? But that is more about day-to-day tasks
